Vocally, she completely blows Alice out the water.

@bookgirlword I've heard Pearl Sun was an amazing understudy... SO jealous! And yes, Asa Somers was incredible!

@lotusfae I got to see it the last night they performed at the Ordway in St. Paul and Pearl Sun performed for Alice--I was glad, since i heard she had been struggling with her voice. Pearl Sun was perfect--I thought she was emotional, inspiring, and was pitch-on. Wish you would've seen her too! Wasn't Asa Somers great as Dan though? :)

@mrsuke I just experienced this last night with Alice in Minneapolis. She was so flat during practically the entire show! It was almost embarrassing for me, it made it hard to enjoy the songs. I was practically mouthing the words with her and straining my throat silently trying to will her on pitch. I was hoping it was just last night, but apparently this has happened before. I have the sense she strains her voice too much and makes herself hoarse quite often, because I know she *can* be on key.

I saw Jessica as the understudy on Broadway and she was fantastic!! I couldn't imagine that there could be someone who could be better! So, when I was going to hear Alice Ripley tonight in Pittsburgh, I was so excited! Wow, what a disappointment. She sang FLAT all night! It was awful. I imagine she was going hoarse, but even if she was- where was her ear? I wanted to slash MY wrists. Why they wouldn't put the understudy in was beyond me. I could not enjoy the show because of this.

I don't like her interpretation as much as Alice's.

SOOOO much better than alice ripley

I like the Way Jessica sings this song(: The emotion is clear. ANd her Alice, and Marin are really good at putting the emotions into a song while singing so beautifully. Love them all

She seems much younger than Alice...both in her looks and her voice. She has a very young sound. I'm not sure if it totally suits the part...but maybe I'm just so used to hearing Alice do it.
i saw her and she was INCREDIBLE!!! her voice to me sounds like a combination of alice and idina

I think that Alice and Jessica bring such different things to the role. I think that Jessica is a stronger vocalist, even though Alice is great, and I think Alice's acting is stronger, even though Jessicas is great.
